Reply to comment by Moepsii in [Homemade] Calabrian Chipotle Chili (Bolognese Style) by SVOalltime

It's a chili inspired by Italian tomato based meat sauce (Ragout/ragu/ragu alla Bolognese etc.) Call it whatever you want.

Bolognese contrary to poular belief is most definitely not a tomato based sauce. But I split hairs... the chili looks bomb

You're not wrong when referring to the Bolognese you get in bologna. This is based on a meat sauce recipe from a close friend's grandmother who grew up in Calabria which is in the more tomato-rich southern part of Italy. Kind of a Calabrian take on a Bolognese. I just figured it would be easier for most people to understand if I called it "Bolognese Style." Thanks for the compliment!
